Anthophilolygus alaneylesi Yasunaga, Schwartz & Cherot 2018
Anthophilolygus alaneylesi Yasunaga, Schwartz & Chérot, 2018 Fig. 1 Anthophilolygus alaneylesi Yasunaga et al., 2018: 369. Material examined. Vietnam • 1 ♂ 1 ♀, Da Nang City, Hoa Vang, Hoa Lien, Hoa Trung Lake (16°5'20.76"N, 108°2'33.00"E), 90 m altitude, 13.viii.2025, J. Kim leg. (ZCDTU) (DTUHMM 0093–0094). Diagnosis and description. Distinguished by the following combination of characters: dorsum generally greenish, relatively small (total length <3 mm); scutellum unicolorous, entirely greenish. See Yasunaga et al. (2018) for the detailed differential diagnosis and description. Measurements (in mm). Male (n = 1) Body length, clypeus – apex of membrane: 2.59; head length, excluding collar: 0.24; head width across eyes: 0.77; vertex width: 0.22; length of 1 st antennomere: 0.37; 2 nd: 1.05; 3 rd: 0.65; 4 th: 0.43; mesal pronotal length: 0.46; pronotal maximal width: 1.04; scutellar width: 0.49; mesal scutellar length: 0.47; claval commissure length: 0.52; maximal width across hemelytron: 0.66: length of hind leg (femur: tibia: tarsus): 1.17: 1.58: 0.40. Plant association. This species was collected from the inflorescence of an unidentified broad-leaf tree. It has earlier been reported in association with the willow-leaved water croton, Homonoia riparia Lour. (Euphorbiaceae) (Yasunaga et al. 2018). Distribution. Thailand (Central) (Yasunaga et al. 2018), Vietnam (Central) (new record). Remarks. According to Yasunaga et al. (2018), hair-like spinules were illustrated on the male vesica; however, these structures were not observed in the specimens examined in the present study (Fig. 1 H, I). Nevertheless, as the external characters (e. g., coloration and the ratios of antennomeres) and the parameres are nearly identical, our specimens were identified as Anthophilolygus alaneylesi.
